Epitaph

Epitaph


To be born first then life to death,

what is life from birth to grave?

Living a life of death or a life of life,

in lasting life or fading death?


When a life is lived in death,

what a waste of life to live.

Iniquities in selfishness;

life as such does end in death.


When that life is lived in life,

what a gain is life to live.

Righteousness in selflessness;

such life lived, come death is life.


What will tell of our life when gone?

To what purpose to what end?

Epitaph may last on stone.

But what of life when all is gone?


- Roger W Hancock
